Police are seeking witnesses to a paintball shooting on Willis Street, Wellington at about 10.50pm on Thursday evening.
CCTV footage shows a male and a female standing outside a bar on the corner of Willis and Dixon streets when a paintball gun was discharged toward them from a passing vehicle. The pair shortly after had a brief conversation with one of the bar’s staff members.
adminQuick-thinking officers hit a high-note, arresting five offenders following an aggravated robbery at an east Auckland karaoke bar.
At about 1.40am, staff at a karaoke bar in Somerville alerted Police to an incident involving a group of masked people who had allegedly entered the premises armed with weapons (not firearms) and made demands for cash.
Detective Senior Sergeant Veronica McPherson, Counties Manukau CIB, says the group climbed over the counter where they took the till and a number of other items.
adminPolice are urgently renewing an appeal for information that may help confirm the safety and whereabouts of two people who entered the Ōtara River in Ōpōtiki on Sunday morning and have not yet been located.
Inspector Phil Gillbanks said Police can now confirm the missing pair are an adult male and an adult female, rather than two males as initially believed.
“It is understood the male may have made contact with associates and family members; however, his welfare has not been independently confirmed. Police are still seeking both individuals to ensure they are safe and well.
adminPolice can confirm one person has died following a serious crash in Tauranga this morning.
About 11.15am Police were called to a single vehicle crash involving a motorbike on Takitimu Drive.
Sadly, despite best efforts, one person died at the scene.
The road was closed while the Serious Crash Unit conducted a scene examination, however has since reopened.
Police’s enquiries into the crash are ongoing.
